yum… looks delicious and I am also now thinking could make a nice
marinade for small chicken legs. yum yum… always nice to have
already cooked chicken legs in frig for a little cold snack…
Could use less garlic and I would put pepper also for the chicken marinade.

Hi. WOW this is amazing!! It actually exists!!! My extended family mothers side is from Lebanon, where? no idea! But recipes have lived on in my family like this one of Maakroun. I really never enjoyed it because they were making it with only Garlic and Olive Oil. The taste was too strong and the smell !!! After long research of the beloved dish by my family I found your post, its exactly how our great grand father made it, except they always skip the Lemon. I have emailed the toum recipe to all my relatives I’m pretty sure its going to be a hit.

In the Saad family Maakroun is an excuse to gather everyone to make little “mountain Gnocchi’s” as you called it. Normally when its raining or some family event maakroun always available.

Thanks for the post, know I have to excuse myself with most of my relatives because I said this dish doesn’t exist. It was an invention of our grandparents in time of crisis.
